This research has as object of study the artist Alberto da Veiga Guignard. Through the
outlining of his trajectory and his sociability networks, we seek to investigate the possible
ways in which some landscape drawings, produced by the artist, participated in the initiatives
and developments implemented by artists and intellectuals with a view to equating the
binomial modernism and nationalism in the context of culture of the country at that time. The
temporal cut of the research was concentrated between the years of 1942 and 1962 and the
spatial delimitation focused on Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and the historic cities of Minas
Gerais, main places of performance of Guignard since the artist returned definitively from
Europe to the Brazil, in 1929.
